Students are generally found of fashions. They try to be as fashionable as possible. There are different popular styles among the youth. These fashions are mostly of dresses, shoes, hair, and make-up. There are also styles of walking, talking, laughing or behaving in definite ways. But all these fashions change with time. Girls wear long or short shirts. They like to wear tight or lose dresses according to the fashion. A number of girls have their hair cut or specially dressed in fashionable ways. Their ways of powder, lipstick, etc on the face also goes on changing. Girls particularly attend to the fashions of colors of their clothes or shoes.
Boys also try to wear clothes according to the latest fashions. They wear tight or lose pants, shirts having collars and sleeves of one shape or the other and specially sewn coats. They wear shoes with pointed or flat toes. They have their hair cut in the most fashionable ways. Those guys who have their face shaven sometimes begin keeping mustaches.
New fashions among the students come into being for different reasons. First of all, rich and well to do students generally like to have changes in their styles of the dress. Some of these students begin wearing clothes in new ways to become prominent. Others also begin wearing their new fashions. Thus fashions are the result of the newness of the desire for newness in the ways of wearing different kinds of clothes. Second, students watching movies also try to copy the fashion of actors. They may even try to copy their ways of speaking, walking and general behavior. These trends become popular when a large number of students adopt them. Third, students watching television may begin copying trends of those appearing on the screen. Fourth, students may begin copying fashions of those foreigners visiting their country. There may be other causes of new fashions. Tailors themselves may stitch clothes in new ways and make some fashions popular.
It is true that while fashions make life interesting and colorful they make us active and smart. Students wearing fashionable clothes feel happy and satisfied. Different fashions cause variety in society.
Fashions also have quite a few bad results. A great many fashionable students are more interested in their fashion than in studies. They spend too much of their time getting new sorts of fashionable clothes instead of buying useful books.
Those parents who are not rich and well-to-do find it very difficult to provide new fashionable clothes to their children. If students are not so found of fashions, they can save their parents much worry and trouble.
